Real problems we solve
Payroll doesn't have to be painful
84% of small businesses make payroll errors. 40% pay penalties. We built Payzava to fix that.
Spreadsheets that break when rates change
Config-driven statutory rates. When NSSA ceilings or tax brackets change, update the DB — not your formulas.
Multi-currency payroll without the migraine
USD/ZiG dual-currency tax splits. Per-currency PAYE calculation. FX rate management built in.
